Welcome to another late weekend post because busy life and I tried to do the #readathon which I somehow failed (?) but I did read more than usual which is also a good plus. Let me talk about it!
I started the readathon strong. It starts at 8PM in my place and I started reading at around 11PM and kept reading on and off up to 2AM or 3AM-ish. I wasn't doing much update like before but I got through a total of 97 pages that night. Then I got up late the next day, read a few pages during breakfast then read a few more after Church. After lunch, I practically slept throughout the afternoon. Nothing like a good siesta, yeah? lol. I ended up picking up The Ask and The Answer again until the readathon ends. That night, I read 132 pages. So all in all, I only got through 229 pages which sucks but it's fine I guess. I got through a good chunk off The Ask and The Answer and I finished The Yellow Wallpaper.
I'm doing personal 24hr readathons anyway, so we'll see how I'll do next month but the next Dewey's 24hr Readathon is on October.
Now for the past week in general, reading-wise, I got through 296 pages. Not enough I guess. And I did most of my reading mid-week and Saturday when I finished The Little Bookshop on the Seine and had the first part of the readathon. between that, I barely read. My reading plans didn't work out because of how little I read this week. I wanna pick up my pace and really put some time management on myself.
current read
The Ask and The Answer (Chaos Walking #2) | Patrick Ness
I'm more than halfway through this and I'm generally okay with it. My feelings reading this book is generally the same as when I was reading the first book. I like it, I'm intrigued but I'm not fully invested. I like how quick to read this though. I also like the aspects that Todd and Viola are not together and that they have their respective points of views. I also like that we get more of the Spackles.

HOW ABOUT YOU
What books did you recently finish? What are you currently reading? Any new faves? Any recommendations? What do you think of these books? How was your week?
let's connect!
I think you did a great job on the readathon. I wanted to participate, but I didn't even have time to try. Maybe I'll try next time. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think you did great! I think readathons are hard lol, like if I'm just casually reading I can get through a surprisingly large amount of pages haha but if I'm TRYING to- something always happens. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway hope you had some good reading anyway :)
I feel like getting ANY reading done these days is an accomplishment lol

It's really tough to commit to a 24-hour readathon. I commend you! I can only do this if I absolutely have to clear my weekend. Anyway, good luck on the next one. I still think you did great!
